Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Update = Fail
I'm running Vista Ultimate & tried upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1.2 and got the
following message:
"Installation could not continue because the downloaded file cannot be moved
to a secure folder location
(C:\Users\Harville's\AppData\Local\Adobe\Updater5\Install\reader8rdr-en_US\AdbeRdr812_en_US.msi)
prior to validation and installation. Please make sure the secure folder
location has enough free disk space and has sufficient access rights for
administrator."
Does anyone know the fix or does Adobe need to comply!
Re: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Update = Fail
the best way is to have both, Foxit cannot render all languages correctly..
and it is in fact slower on some very complex PDF files...
also adobe gives windows explorer thumbnail previews along with the "preview
handler" right sidebar on Windows explorer
It also integrates with Outlook for previews... Adobe reader can also read
with text to speech.
I have both, Adobe is the default for all the functions above, but when Im
in a hurry I right click> and open with foxit
Foxit is indeed smaller, but its not as feature rich....
the best is to have the best of both worlds.. like I do it

Manually remove Adobe Reader (8.x on Windows)

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Scroll down and download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility Package.
In XP go to Start, then Search and look for MSICuu2.exe. When the icon
shows up, run the program. After its done, you will get a list of files.
Click on Adobe and it will remove it.
Alternatively you can try:
Brute Force Uninstaller
and/or
Revo Uninstaller

I would uninstall Adobe Reader 8 in Control Panel>Programs and Features, and
then download and install Adobe Reader 9.1 (without the optional Free Google
Toolbar) from here:
